Rapid high-resolution detection of colistin resistance in Gram-negative bacteria using flow cytometry: a comparison with broth microdilution, a commercial screening test and WGS

ConclusionsHere, we present a rapid FCM-based AST assay for qualitative and quantitative testing of colistin resistance inE. coli andK. pneumoniae. The assay revealed probable chromosomal colistin resistance inK. pneumoniae that was not detected by BMD. If confirmed, these results question the reliability of BMD for colistin testing.
